We were called to a basement cut into a hillside in order to address water ingress. The absence or deterioration of the positive-side waterproofing membrane had led to moisture migrating through the retaining wall. This issue had allowed efflorescence to form and caused paint to flake, as moisture moved through the blockwork. Additionally, we found cracks along the retaining wall steps, likely due to the lack of ancillary joints in the retaining wall. Fortunately, the wall had stabilised, and further cracking is unlikely. Our recommended solution included high-pressure leak sealing of the cracks, followed by reverse-side waterproofing to effectively protect the structure. If you are experiencing similar issues in your property - like efflorescence and flaking paint on concrete walls - contact the Waterstop Solutions team for a quote. 📸 Pictured: (1) After leak seal injection of cracks, (2) During priming, (3) After completion of reverse side waterproofing.

Recently our Queensland team has been working on a unique single-story home, partially built into a hill for natural insulation, with a concrete rooftop covered by a natural lawn. Despite its beautiful design, the home has been experiencing water ingress during heavy rains and seepage through floor-to-wall joints, control joints, and cracks in the retaining wall. Following a detailed inspection, we pinpointed the root causes — hydrostatic pressure, capillary action, and deteriorating membranes. Our comprehensive solution included both positive-side remedial waterproofing and reverse-side waterproofing inside the home. We will also be enhancing water management with subsoil drainage, to protect the home from future water issues. Stay tuned for more updates as we tackle this unique project and ensure long-term protection. 📸 Pictured: (1) Removal of grass and dirt on the rooftop slab, (2), Leak sealing injections, (3) Application of waterproofing system.

We Were There! AIW Proud Sponsor at Brisbane – 11 October 2024 The AIW had Brisbane covered with friendly service and advice from the awesome Queensland crew at the northern leg of Construction and Waterproofing in 2024 held at the Convention Centre. The conference provided the Sunshine State’s construction industry with an early warning of changes in standards, expectations and regulations as they creep northward from the southern states. It was information-packed day of knowledge-sharing and networking that the AIW was proud to be a part of. A big shout out to the AIW team for listening to the needs of Queensland’s construction and waterproofing professionals. #AIWsponsor #constructionconference #AIWQLD #AIWinBrisbane

Another snapshot of our team hard at work at the recent slab jacking of a sinking slab on a crossing bridge.

Several internal walls in a Northern Sydney home had been affected by prolonged rising damp, likely caused by a deteriorated or missing damp proof course and excessive groundwater reaching the brick footings. This led to the porous brickwork absorbing moisture, compromising the render, and causing paint to peel. Our NSW team implemented damp course injections (chemical DPC injections) to stop water from rising through the walls. The next step involves installing sub-soil drainage to divert excess groundwater and protect the footings. These measures will safeguard the building and ensure its long-term resilience.

The neighbours of our recent project at Kings Beach were so impressed watching our team's work on the rooftop that they've requested a quote for their own rooftop 🙌🏽 For this project, we completed a Full Rooftop Membrane Refurbishment and installed a brand-new heavy-duty UV-stable modified acrylic waterproofing membrane over the entire rooftop, providing a long-lasting protection and durability.
